Thanks for the feedback.

This is a school project, that will be graded.
It is also my first project in Pico-8 and Lua.

Features to add:

-More enemies
-Change player spawn location

This is a very small arcade game for a game jam.
Theme was "paranormal Activity"
In this game you're a wraith. Get close to those pesky humans to suck out their life force.
Move to the magic circle to feed the portal the life force you gathered.
Avoid those priests...

Spent roughly a day, so don't expect too much :)

Can someone please tell me how to change a map tile with a sprite over it because I can't figure it out
heres my code
--player
function make_player()
p={}
p.h=10
p.a=3
p.d=1
p.dead = false
p.x=8
p.y=8
p.tx=1
p.ty=1
end

function player_move()
p.tx = p.x/8
p.ty = p.y/8
if (btn(0)) then p.x = p.x - 8 end
if (btn(1)) then p.x = p.x + 8 end
if (btn(2)) then p.y = p.y - 8 end
if (btn(3)) then p.y = p.y + 8
end
end

function overlap(x,y)
if (btn(5)) and fget == 3 then mset(p.tx,p.ty,4)
end
end

I just purchased and downloaded PICO-8 for my raspberry pi, and when I try to boot it it will not. When I double click on the file, I am asked to execute it, which I do. After this, it open for a half second before closing immediately.

Is there anything else I need to do in order to open it correctly?

GrassZone

	[80x8]

It is the year 4086. The world is ending, and the only grass left is on Grazz Island. The World Preservation Society (WPS) has hired you to get a grass sample from Grazz Island. The last person who went there tried to take some grass off the island, but it disintegrated when he left the Island. The world's only hope is the golden grass that has been on that island for over 450 years. Find the grass and save the world.

Version 1.01: Fixed glitch, improved game over screen, corrected next piece preview orientation

This is basically a full game of Tetris in 1024 characters, featuring:

• Sprite Graphics

• Left/Right Piece Rotation

• Pieces can be slotted in under ledges

• Title Screen

• Game Over State/Restart

Controls:

L/R-------Move Piece

O---------Rotate Counterclockwise

X---------Rotate Clockwise

Down---Soft Drop

This is an upgrade of my previous Tweettweetjam version of Tetris, and I was able to add a lot of things due to the extra space. A few things that I wanted to include wouldn't fit, like sound effects, level selection, and a fancier title screen, but this has graphics, solid mechanics, and a full game loop. Hope you enjoy playing it!

First of all, wanted to say that I LOVE the new HTML PICO-8 manual! Long live dark mode :P.

Just wanted to report some inconsistencies and formatting issues:

• split function missing parenthesis and commas around parameters, inconsistent with other functions
• "POKE()ed (to an output value ... @PEEK()ed (e.g. to read" sentence seems to unintentionally use larger font and has an extrenuous @ before "PEEK()"
• "_UPDATE or @_UPDATE60 is called ... same frame return" same issue as above
• Possibly unintentional ! in warning bubble
• // e.g. poke ... pinball everywhere comment seems to be incorrectly indented

Picophobia(Phasmophobia Demake)

I love the original game and the genre it has kicked off. So for it´s anniversary i made a Pico8-Version that you can play with two people. I used AFBUs great raycasting engine(https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=13195#p) and modified it a bit to fit my needs(mainly being a splitscreen game). I´m still working on incorporating sprites, but we´ll see wether i can figure out the math in the future. Any help would be appreciated!
Use X in the Van to equip the different tools and write down your findings in your Journal (press O)

Have fun, tell me about your sightings and feel free to modify or add levels!

Controller Version

Hello, Captain. Welcome to the frigid wastes of Northern England. The world is cooling, London is in disarray, and there is no end in sight. You are charged with helping your group of refugees survive the cold. This task will be daunting and dangerous, but you are not without hope.

To interact with your city use your mouse. A right click at the edges of the screen will move the camera, a left click will allow you to interact with the various menus and buildings. Your most important edict is this. Keep the Generator running. If it goes out surely your city will freeze to death.

KiloKitty has business in the next town over (a special deal on yummy catfood), but the evil no-flight droids are attempting to shoot down anything that flies through the night sky after curfew. Worse, they all look like oranges! (which KiloKitty personally hates)

This game was made for the pico-1k jam. Its source code is only 1009 characters out of the allowed 1024. The cartridge made for this site is slightly different than the one I submitted to the jam, though, as the character count included comments. This version has the game title and my name at the top so they'd appear in the label. I unfortunately didn't have enough space to include a menu or automatic resetting after a game over, so instead the game freezes intentionally so at least the player can get to see how well they did.

I made a mod for @eboatwright 's simple platformer game!
I'm very new to pico-8, so I thought this would be a good way to start. Enjoy!

Hungry Bobs

A Lil Evolution Sim

This little ecosystem is composed of a population of colorful B(l)obs, and their food source, the green Al(gae)s. Unlike environments on Earth, where energy is constantly being lost as heat and gained from sunlight or chemical or geological activity, the Bobs and Als form a quasi-closed* system. New Als will only grow if there is enough free energy available, energy which must have been lost by Bobs going about their daily metabolic business.

Although the Als are happy to just appear and disappear when the simulation says so, the Bobs are somewhat more complex critters:

• Bobs move around the toroidal petri dish at a constant speed
• When hungry or curious, Bobs will change direction and swim off somewhere else
